Big Mama Thornton captures the essence of what we all go through and sings it with the emotion of the pain that comes from living it. Her voice is amazing as well as the effect it has on my soul. How I love this woman. How I wish we had singers now that could do the same.

I ended up stumbling into a portion of YouTube where every linked video is a cannabis-related song from the first half of the century. This must be what heaven sounds like.

@lilgypsyana ...because she has real talent, and an amazing voice...but unfortunately she didn't fit into the accepted physical ideal of beauty so was ignored...like so many really good and talented bands/people out there that we''ll never get to see or even hear anything about..and now they shove all kinds of fluff, bells, whistles, costumes, masks etc at us so we don't realize how talentless our most popular performers are
